Any online slots fan will know that Thor crops up with pleasing regularity in various games; he’s the hammer-brandishing Norse god generally associated with great storms and ferocious battles. He returns to action once more in this Playtech/Virtue Fusion slot – it’s called Thor’s Thunder and not only does it feature a hammer-chucking bonus feature, it also comes complete with a progressive jackpot.

Thor’s Thunder is a five reel slot with three rows and up to twenty paylines; the design of this game is cartoonish in style with lots of muscle bound characters and reels which are set against a backdrop of towering grey mountains.

The high value symbols are all action packed and include three characters – Thor, Balder and Loki, Thor’s shield and a longship, Q, K and A are the lower values but designed to look like speech bubbles.

The bolt of lighting is wild and Thor’s hammer (Mjölnir) is the bonus icon which activates the feature.

Bonus Features

Thor’s Hammer Bonus

This mini-game is triggered by landing Thor’s hammer on the first reel of an active payline; you will then be shown three shields and all you need to do is pick one. Thor will then fling his hammer at that shield to reveal a multiplier amount.

That multiplier is applied to the stake per line multiplied by the number of paylines going through the triggering bonus symbol.

Progressive Jackpot

You can see the jackpot amount above the reels and to win this amount you will need to land five of the lightning bolt wild symbols on an active payline. The percentage of the jackpot you win depends on your stake per line; a stake of £0.01 per line wins 0.2% while £5.00 per line earns 100%.

Thor’s Thunder Online Slot Playing Tips

If you want to win larger shares of the the progressive jackpot, wager the highest stake you can.

Play as many paylines as possible to increase your chances of winning the jackpot and also increase your bonus game prize.

Verdict

We like a nicely-designed game and we like a progressive jackpot so this is a game we would recommend; it has a slightly low RTP of 93.00% but give it a go – that big prize may have your name on.
